The first weekend in June isn't far away, especially if you're getting items together to sell at the U.S. 68 400-mile yard sale.

The annual yard sale stretches from east to west across the state through 60 communities ... from Maysville to Paducah. This year's sale is June 5-8.

Marilyn Clarke, executive director of the Taylor County Tourism Commission, came up with the idea for the sale several years ago when she was looking to do something that would create some tourism business for small towns located off the major highways.

Imagine being able to see and touch a diverse mixture of high quality arts and crafts from throughout Southern and Eastern Kentucky under one roof. Then imagine that every work of art presented is hand crafted by artists and crafters from the region.

The Taylor County Public Library and The Friends of the Library are hosting an art display and contest for children.

Children in preschool through 12th grade are encouraged to participate. There will be four age categories with prizes. All appropriate artwork will be on display at the library.

The artwork is to be based on the child's favorite book. Art may be done on paper or canvas no larger than 15 by 11 inches, or it may be a diorama no larger than a shoebox. Children may choose whatever media they desire - crayons, pencils, watercolors, markers or other paints.
